Re: Tennis thread

Nadal broke the Federer serve in the third game of the first set for an early 2-1 first set lead.
Actually, Nadal had a chance to finish the match when he had two championship points in the tie break of the fourth set but wilted under pressure as Federer extended it to a deciding 5th set.

This was the best Wimbledon Finals I have seen since the Goran Ivanisevic-Patric Rafter in the late 90s that took over 5 hours to finish.

Nadal now become the first player since Bjorn Borg to win the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year.

Re: Tennis thread

Looks like Nadal is creeping in on Roger, I won't be surprised if he overtakes him eventually for the number one ranking. With his improved serve, Nadal is now a threat in all surfaces. I like him better than Novak who tends to be too arrogant and overconfident.

Re: Tennis thread

i'm impressed w/ the utter dominance displayed by the williams sister in the distaff side of the draw. they easily ruled the singles & the doubles divisions of the tournament, making the hallowed gounds of wimbledon their personal playground
